Controllers and Music services

Sonos S1 will not find the system using a new iPad Air but works fine with existing iPhones. Anyone know of this and do you have a solution. 

When playing album in Sonos iPad, album art (embedded and also in album folder as ‘folder.jpg), displays properly. Sonos ‘Recently Played’ displays name of album, but no album art is displayed. Any assistance most appreciated. 

I recently purchased Sonos products because of the wireless connectivity. I have an Arc sound bar, Gen3 Sub and two Era100 speakers. It all sounds fairly decent although my biggest issue is having to use the app to control everything. Half the time it doesn’t connect and when it does you struggle finding the sound slide to turn down the music. Basically it’s very troublesome, until they can figure out how to improve on the app as a controller I’m only slightly satisfied with my purchase. 

Had gotten my music library connected via my Mac controller several months ago but today out of the blue it stopped working. Dead. “Unable to play...access to \\iMac\Music denied” Re-entered same original settings but no luck. “Sonos was unable to load the music folder… check the username and/or password”Username & password are indeed correct but no go. So frustrating! 

Hello,Is Sonos really trying to see how bad the software can be before people stop using the products?The app & software is so bad to start with but now I have run into an issue that is horrible, even by Sonos subpar standards:I am not able to use the app & soundsystem since the app refuses to update and doesnt let me use the app without the updated version. The only messgae that appears on the app is "there was a problem checking for updates".  Obviously, the customer service doesnt respond and there isnt any representatives online on the chat. And no, there is no error code.  

I routinely get “connection timed out” when simply trying to use Apple Music from Sonos.  Sometimes it it when I have been using airplay (YouTube… or Apple Music because I can’t use it from Sonos) but there is no pattern that I can identify.  I have tried shutting down, rebooting which sometimes works but the same problem reappears eventually 

Hello - with a recent Sonos upgrade I have lost the link to my Mac Music Library.  I have spent about 4 hours on the phone to Sonos without success and wonder whether is something that has gone wrong with the path.  If there are any Mac experts out there who could take a look at this set up and advise whether there is something wrong I’d be very grateful. 

Hi, I don't know if anyone else is totally frustrated with the New Sonos app as I am, but I have two questions. One, is anyone able to edit their playlist? My list keeps duplicating songs, so I have multiple songs with 2, 3, 4, and 5 duplicates. And I can't delete them. Two, has anyone found an alternative system they have moved their system to that is working for them?

I've verified that I can stream Dolby Atmos through Apple Music on the Sonos app. Does Plex on the Sonos app work as well?

Music Library problem finally solved…… (for me)First of all, originally I couldn’t access my Music Library at all. I managed to solve this but then had the problem that once I could see my Music Library in the SONOS app (iPhone and desktop), it was showing as empty ie no music.If you can’t even access your music library at all then read this article, it might help but read the rest of my comments first:  Adding a Music Library share | Sonos CommunityIf you need help creating a local account on your PC, this will help: How to create a Local account in Windows 11 - Microsoft CommunityIf you then have your Music Library showing but it’s empty (ie no songs, albums etc,,,) then this is what I did.My original music library was in my OneDrive folder under \Music\Music Library. This was shared through a local account I created named SONOS. Through this I could add and see my ‘Music Library’ in the SONOS app but it was empty ie no songs, albums etc.. showing. Sharing OneDrive, the Music folder

Hi everyone I’ve recently brought a symfonisk I’m pretty sure it’s generation 2 I’m using the sonos app but it keeps telling me to log in although I’m already logged in, I’m trying to add Spotify to my account has anyone got any suggestions? 

Custom streams are still extremely difficult to manage.One can add custom streams to the TuneIn library via the TuneIn app. These then show up inside the Sonos TuneIn ‘New’ Service. From there, those streams can in turn be added to Sonos favorites. However, unlike the old interface from the ‘Pre-Update’ Sonos App, there’s now no way to assign a friendly name to custom streams.Is anyone aware of a way to do this, or is it scheduled to be fixed? This was functionality we had before that has now been removed and degraded.

I want to create an alarm not based on time (e.g. 3 min or 4 min). I want the alarm to be a single song and once the song ends then the alarm stops. 

Can I get a radio station from Italy from the US?

Messages from MacOS App:searching fir your sonos system…...we need to get Sonos updated and then no updates needed, cant connect to controller.I have followed all of the support advice i.e. Sonos OS, checked / set firewall and privacy and security settings, restarted etc.Im running S2 16.5 on MacOS Sequoia 15.2 

I currently pay for Apple Music. In the middle of the album today I heard an announcer tell me what song I was listing to and it was from Apple Music.  I run the Sonos app on my phone then search up the album on Sonos using Apple Music service that is linked.  Why would Sonos ruin the experience with an ad? Who is that ad for?   Apple clearly didn’t do it because I’m paying for it already. Has this happened to anyone else?  If Sonos did it. Stop? 

Connection with my Fritz!Box Mediaserver doesn’ work. Has somebody experience with setup?

Hi,can’t read my old (previous Sonos app) playlists.can’t create new playlists.New app is really insane ! any solution or update please?best regards christophe

Why is my android app Sonos app kept forgeting its system.

I can set or change alarm settings. The save button changes when I press it, but nothing happens.

Can we have a S2 app complete rollback? At first, S2 was working for me just fine when the Upgrade happened, but then it was getting worst and worst everytime, now it works really bad, Music plays for 7 seconds or less and then skips the song and plays the 7 seconds or less and ends stopping at the third attempt… never had issues like this with the sonos apps, S1 works much better than S2, I have both, my S2 speakers are wired, so I don’t know what is going on… so, please!! Can we have the S2 complete Rollback???

I have a simple setup, 2 Sonos Ones as a stereo pair in my home office. I frequently have issues with the system not being found, or one speaker dropping out, meaning a frustrating time resetting, rebooting and trying to reconnect. Today, the app can’t find a Sonos system - I’ve added each speaker several times without any issue being reported in setup (speakers chime and seemingly connect). I’ve deleted the app and reinstalled. I can press play on the speaker itself and it plays the last thing I was listening to. Nothing has changed on the home network, wifi strength is good, everything else has remained connected without problem.I really want to like my Sonos system, but these repeated connectivity issues are just ridiculous. I shouldn’t have to regularly spend hours trying to identify where the problem is and set up the system up again.

Who knows why it is taking zo long to fix the app , that sound control etc react in the right way. Iam getting tired of it. If there are stil no improvements,  iam  going te sell it all and try another. 

I create Apple playlists on my computer, going to the Apple service in Sonos on the computer they don’t show up. Also on my phone they don’t show up. If I create the playlist from my phone in Apple Music they will sometimes show up. I’ve long given up on using the Sonos library on my computer.
